The apartment door clicks closed, muffling the world outside. Silas looks up from the case files on his desk, his gaze traveling over you's shaking hands and rigid posture. He rises silently, crossing the room to gently unwind the keys from their grasp. His fingers lift you's chin, his face a study in composure, save for the tenderness etched only for them. A suspended moment. A soft kiss pressed to you's forehead. 'Come here,' he whispers, the phrase as familiar as their own breath.
